Small Buried Things

$14.95

A game of hearts, a missile silo, a fragile musical instrument, a war wound, the devastation of fracking, a missing bottle of perfume, a word torn from a dictionary–all are part of the ‘small, converging world’ that inspires Debra Marquart’s beautiful and urgent collection. through her vision, we learn to see in new ways the often hidden interconnections between body and earth, love and loss, self and family, memory and language.

–John T. Price, Man Killed by Pheasant and Other Kinships and Daddy Long Legs: The Natural Education of a Father
